80’S TUESDAY:That’s When I Reach for My Revolver by Mission of Burma - One of the great post-punk bands of the 80’s. Mission of Burma only recorded one EP and one full length LP before they disbanded due to guitarist Roger Miller’s worsening tinnitus. It was short-lived, but their influence loomed large over the Boston indie rock scene.
I posted this before, but it happened to be right before the school shootings at Sandy Hook. it is not that the song itself incites anything, it was just the stomach turning events of that day. It was the only time I have yet deleted a post. Given the time though and the fact that one of my favorite Tumblr bloggers posted this yesterday, I decided it was high time to highlight one of my favorite songs by a great band.
